Selections 10 Drawer Traditional Wooden Apple Storage Rack

Product Information

Just as the last of the winter storage apples are fading in the root cellar, this one gives you a shot of apple goodness right in the heat of summer (before the raspberries and other summer fruits).

These kind of conditions are often provided by garages, sheds and even a cellar if you have one but the house (including lofts and attics) is often too warm. Store away from strong smelling substances (such as paint) along with vegetables like garlic and onions. Start by building the side rails (drawer glides). The original plan had 6 drawers and was much shorter, but I cut the uprights to 5 ft tall so I could have 10 drawers. Using 1×3 dimensional lumber, cut 5ft uprights and lay them out before attaching 11 pieces of 1×3 wood at 30 inches long.

Pears and quinces are prone to internal browning which can be found at harvest time or develop later in storage. The reasons for this are not fully understood but can be caused by environmental conditions during fruit development, poor storage conditions and internal rots If no suitable storage conditions are available, small quantities of apples can be put in plastic bags in the fridge to store for a few weeks. Fill a bag with 2-3kg (4lb 6oz - 6lb 10oz)of fruit, pierce several holes in it and fold the top loosely to allow air circulation. Core flush (pink or brownish discolouration to flesh around the core) is usually the result ofcarbondioxidebuild-up and is common in apples stored in plastic bags Multi-functional - perfect for storing both fruit and vegetables, keeping your produce fresh, no matter the season For me, I’ve got Cox Orange Pippin, which is full-flavored like Ashmead’s Kernel (but without the tannin). It’s a good balance, somewhere in-between a sweet Honeycrisp and a slightly bitter Ashmead’s. There are 2 shelves of those (40 lbs).

When one tray of fruit is reaching optimum ripeness, remove it from storage promptly as the gasses released may speed up the ripening of the remaining fruit in storeTop tips for making the most of your apple storage: When your apples are ripe, discard any that are bruised or damaged, dust off those you want to keep and wrap them in newspaper before placing them in your apple store. Be careful not to overfill the drawers and risk damaging your harvest.
